Thumbprint CookieS

This buttery dough makes the perfect cookie to showcase any of our beautiful fruit spreads. As a time-saver and fewer on-hand ingredients, use our Tait Farm Foods Thumbprint Cookie Mix.

Ingredients:

1 c. butter

1/2 C. sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

2 large egg yolks

1 tsp. vanilla

2 1/4 C. unbleached flour

1/4 C. Tait Farm Fruit Spread of your choice

Preheat oven to 35o degrees.

Beat the butter, sugar, and salt until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating well, and scraping the sides of the bowl between each addition. Add the vanilla. With the mixer on low, gradually add the flour. Mix until well combined. Form the dough into a log and wrap in plastic. Chill in the refrigerator for an hour.

Roll the dough into 1/2 inch balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Use your finger or the end of a spoon, or the back of a 1/4 tsp measuring sppon to make indentations in the dough. Bake the cookies for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and fill the indentations with a small amount of your favorite Tait Farm Foods jam, conserve, or preserve (careful not to overfill). Bake another 8-10 minutes until the jam sets and the cookies are a light golden color.

Note: Cookies may be baked completely and then filled.
